decree will last for at least 5 months and is due to come into effect in february. this month, the european union g 7 and australia agreed to cap russian crude at $60.00 a barrel. it's aimed at restricting moscow's revenue streams while still supplying the global market energy exports make up around 40 percent of russia's annual revenue, and our worth around a $1000000000.00 a day. ukraine says that money is being used to finance russia's war efforts. moscow says the cap and other western sanctions won't affect its military offensive and ukraine and is confident it can find buyers for its oil and gas. 0 charge has more from moscow. earlier default when i do a lot of p l i than this decree was anticipated after an agreement was reached. between the e u. n. g 7 countries. a few days ago, i put a price cap of $60.00 per barrel of oil above, even though russia is currently selling its oil for up to $55.00 us dollars a barrel. but for russia, according to statements that preceded this decree, it opposes setting a ceiling on prices,

not because it could have economic losses. if we take into account the oil prices in the markets now, but the kremlin rejects it in principle of i latoya. russia believes that energy prices in general should be determined by the markets and not by political decisions taken by countries, according to their interests or within the framework of sanctions against this. still that party was therefore put indeed what was expected of him and signed this decree. pending another decree related to dealing also with the exports of natural gas. so what does this mean? it means that russia, starting from february 1 will stop exporting any oil products to countries or companies related to the decision to set a price ceiling or they only because of this decision. russia is expected to reduce its production to about 500002700000 barrels a day. but according to officials, this doesn't mean that they would be losses from the russian side, because russia will continue exporting oil to china and india,

as well as southeast asian countries. and it's expected that this russian decision you that will affect the price of oil in the markets, which we will find out about in the next few hours. the nova thomas o'donnell is an energy analyst and lecturer at the hurty school of governance and berlin. he says, rushes oil revenues have already taken a hit. you hear out standing unity of the entire e u g 7 and so forth, very broadly. and an agreement so very harshly sanctioned russian oil. the u is taking no more oil by sea since the 5th of this month, and by the 15th of february, they won't take any more refined products by sea, from russia. that's a stunning hit to russia in valley will enforce this price care worldwide. anybody who wants to use any ships insured from the european union will have to risk, you know, respective. and already i know i was watching below looking at bloomberg latest data a day or 2 ago. and the shipments from russia on the european side,
